Main courtyard.

Pingtong waited silently outside the door of the left wing.

A quarter of an hour has passed, two quarters of an hour has passed...and half an hour has passed!

Seeing that Daohua still hadn't called her in, Pingtong felt a little anxious: "Why hasn't the big girl finished washing?"

At this time, a maid dressed similarly to Pingtong came over with a smile: "Sister Pingtong, Madam is worried, and asked me to come over and see how the eldest girl is doing. Has the eldest lady finished washing up?"

Seeing the person coming, Pingtong smiled bitterly, then shook her head and said: "Ping Xiao, you came just in time. Please listen for me. Is there no movement in the room?"

After saying that, Pingtong pushed Pingxiao towards the door.

Ping Xiao was a little helpless: "Sister Pingtong, what are you doing?"

Pingtong: "The eldest girl said she wanted to take a bath by herself, so I came out. But now half an hour has passed, and there is no movement at all in the room."

"Ah?" Ping Xiao was startled, and he leaned on the door without Ping Tong pushing him. After listening for a while, he looked at Ping Tong with a frown: "There is really no sound in the room, nothing will happen, right?"

”

Hearing this, Pingtong ignored the rules, pushed open the door, and ran in quickly.

Ping Xiao also quickly followed in.

They are the eldest maids around Mrs. Li, and they know very well how much Mrs. Li attaches great importance to the eldest girl.

If something happens to the eldest girl, she may be fine, but Pingtong, who was sent to take care of the eldest girl, may suffer.

Pingtong ran into the room and rushed directly to the bathing room. When he saw Daohua sleeping on the edge of the tub, a glimmer of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he stood still in a daze.

Ping Xiao came over and saw her like this. He was about to say something, but when he glanced around, he saw the rice flowers in the bathtub. He swallowed the words in his mouth.

Both of them held their breath involuntarily, for fear of waking up the people in the tub.

Who would have thought that the slovenly little beggar before would have such a fairy-like appearance.

After a while, Ping Xiao recovered from her shock: "I used to think that the third girl, Yi Shuang, was pretty enough, but now compared with the older girls... I'm afraid she can only be a maid."

."

At this time, Pingtong also came to his senses. Hearing Pingxiao's words, he agreed with his face, but quickly said: "You can't say this anymore, the person in Shuangxinyuan is not easy to mess with."

Ping Xiao snorted coldly: "Isn't Aunt Lin just relying on her beauty to be a few years younger than our wife? No matter how much the master favors her, she will only be a concubine."

Pingtong shook his head: "You, please be more careful with what you say in the future. That person will pretend to be weak and coquettish. If you fall into her hands, you will suffer."

Ping Xiao curled his lips, a little unconvinced, but he didn't say anything more.

"Big girl, you wake up!"

Pingtong wanted to give Pingxiao some advice, but at this moment, she met a pair of clear and translucent black eyes.

Daohua leaned on the tub, glanced at Pingxiao first, and then nodded to Pingtong.

She didn't sleep to death, she just soaked in warm water and her head felt a little dizzy.

After traveling for such a long time, she was indeed tired, so she simply closed her eyes and rested.

She heard what both of them said. Aunt Lin seemed to be very favored. It seemed that her life in the future would be very exciting.

"Go get some hot water, I want to clean it again."

A quarter of an hour later, Daohua walked out of the tub wrapped in a bath towel.

"The big girl's skin is really good." Looking at the white jade-like skin of rice flowers and mutton fat, Ping Xiao said with sincere envy.

Daohua smiled and looked very happy.

No woman doesn’t like to have good skin, and she is no exception.

At this time, Pingtong came over with several sets of clothes and placed them on the bed one by one: "Miss, these clothes are prepared by the madam for you. Because I don't know your size, I took them according to the second girl who is about the same age as you."

I made a few sets for my body shape, and then I made a few more sets by enlarging it and shrinking it. Can you try it to see which one fits better?"

Looking at the dresses spread all over the bed, Daohua's lips curved: "Mom, I'm interested."

When he saw her at the gate of the county government office, he held her in his arms without any dislike. She could feel that this mother really loved her.

Pingtong and Pingxiao unfolded their dresses one by one so that Daohua could choose better.

Daohua assessed her body shape and chose a suit: "Let's just take that light green skirt."

Pingtong brought over the chosen skirt and said with a smile: "My wife said that the eldest girl was born when the rice flowers were in full bloom. When we exchanged letters, she often said that she loved playing in the rice fields, so she guessed that the girl likes the color green.

So most of the clothes I prepared are green."

Hearing this, Daohua's heart warmed slightly: "Two sisters, please tell me about my mother, what she usually does, what she likes, and what she doesn't like."

"Madam is usually very busy. She has to take care of everything in the backyard, manage general affairs, and socialize..."

The two maids helped Daohua dress while talking about Mrs. Li's daily life.

"Girl, you not only have good skin, but you also have good hair." Pingtong wiped Daohua's hair with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, my servant will give you a bun with your temples parted."<

/p>

When Daohua heard this, she immediately asked: "Can it be simpler? For example, just put your hair on top of your head." It feels so complicated to do a bun.

Pingtong looked disapproving: "Girl, only men can put their hair on top of their heads. We women don't have buns like that."

Daohua asked again: "Do other little girls in the county also have such complicated buns?"

Pingtong nodded.

Seeing this, Daohua fell silent and said no more.

Pingtong smiled and said: "Girl, don't worry, I'm a very skilled servant. I'll take care of you and dress you up beautifully."

Dao Huaxin said that she was not worried about her craftsmanship. She was worried about wearing her ladylike hair bun. She would not dare to take big steps when walking in the future.

Half an hour later, under the leadership of Pingtong and Pingxiao, Daohua walked out of the wing and walked towards the old lady's Songhe Courtyard.

Not long after the three of them walked out of the main courtyard, they met Lin Cailiang who came out of Shuangxin Courtyard.

Seeing the two maids beside Mrs. Li leading a girl in green clothes who looked like an immortal, Lin Cailiang's heart suddenly fell to the bottom, and an unprecedented sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

What does your sister rely on to gain a foothold in the backyard of the county government?

In addition to her own knowledge and interests, there is also the adults' love for Yi Shuang.

But now, with such an eldest daughter, can Yishuang still be as favored as before?

At this moment, Lin Cailiang was a little flustered.

Lin Cailiang was looking at Daohua, and Daohua was also looking at him.

"Miss, that's Aunt Lin's brother." Pingtong said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Daohua raised her brows, retracted her gaze without leaving any trace, and left straight away. After walking a certain distance, she asked quietly: "It is said in the play that outsiders are not allowed to enter and exit privately in our backyard. Why, we don't have it here."

This rule?"

Pingtong and Pingxiao both lowered their heads, not knowing how to answer.

Daohua shook her head, and once again felt that her father was not unjust in being the county magistrate for nine consecutive years. Let alone his political achievements, his performance was really not that good based on his rules.
